Left side Daylight running light failure

[wilwong1971]

Hi

I’ve had Lux H8 160 angel eyes for nearly 2.5 years with no issues

Recently I’ve had a ‘Left side Daylight running light failure ’ warning on my iDrive..

Looking at the angel eyes at night it doesn’t look like any of the rings are out..

So before I buy replacements is it module on the Lux that’s failed or something more sinister? Or is it a small section of the led that’s gone so it’s still lit and hard to notice ?

PS I have been quoted £100 labour to fit new ones (excluding the LUX) bit of a ripoff !

I'd just buy a cheap pair off ebay.. see this forum item https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=78611&p=1498672&hilit=ebay+halo#p1498672 and change them to see if that works. They're pretty simple to put on once you realise how they fit (don't try to unscrew them like I did, they just turn!).... £20 well spent. Might not be quite a bright as your Lux's but so much cheaper!

Thanks and blimey they are a lot cheaper ! The ballast bit looks smaller too.. might give there a try
